DirtyHarry 727 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I noticed WSYX replaced the extraordinary (at least according to his website) Richard Malmos and now has a wimpy sounding voiceover guy. I'm guessing that WBFF, WKEF and whoever else was using him have also changed voices since Sinclair seems to do everything in unison. I really liked his voice. Or was the problem that you would always hear him on WCMH as the voice for MeTV? http://www.richardmalmos.com/audio/06-06_RMalmos_promo.mp3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17307-why-did-wsyx-dump-the-extraordinary-richard-malmos/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannical bastard 3955 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 That's a shocker. He's been their voiceover person for at least the past 20 years. Picked up a lot of Sinclair stations after Drew Dimmel began reducing his workload. In addition to the MeTV gig, he's been the voice of the Sinclair-owned Ring of Honor Wrestling.

He really makes the voiceovers he does sound interesting like a good actor wood, and I pay attention to that kind of stuff. Back in the old days it was common for either aspiring actors or washed up ones to be TV news anchors.

AJClementeFan69 477 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I think Malmos does MeTV still? Surprised SBG would drop him. I immediately think Sinclair when I hear him.

nathannah 2444 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Still on WVTV as far as I can see for their new fall promos/time shifts; maybe they're limiting him to the smaller stations at this point?

DirtyHarry 727 Posted September 26, 2019 Author Share Posted September 26, 2019 Extremely weird to be hearing him say "WBNS Columbus" on MeTV just seconds ago.

ABC 7 Denver 1717 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 While market exclusivity can be an issue depending how the contract is written, this is likely the result of a contract dispute. WSYX didn't want to sign as significant a deal as Richard would accept and negotiations fell through. He therefore was able to pickup other market contracts and I'm sure he fetched a pretty penny from the Interim Creative Director installed by Tegna. https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennydolph/ Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17307-why-did-wsyx-dump-the-extraordinary-richard-malmos/#findComment-233285 Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was just on WBNS by virtue of being the MeTV announcer. It was still weird to hear him.
